in diary farming livestock is ur capital asset and not stock in trade...u cannot avail direct deduction for that...moreover u r not allowed depreciation on live stock beacuse no rate of dep. is mentioned in depreciation schedule.....but yes if any animal is died or disable for being of no more use...u can take deduction = cost of that animal(purchase price)-its scrap value...

if you have any query revery me at kitu.kool @ gmail.com
